31dc2012 - day 14

Hey guys!
Good news, my electricity came back yesterday evening! It was the key to having a happy birthday! You know, that and all the lovely comments from my amazing followers. Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! I had a great day!

Alas my birthday is over and it is back to the other 364 days of the year that aren't quite as fun.

To make this day-after-birthday cheerful, I have a happy manicure!
Today's theme for the 31 Day Challenge is Floral.

I had a really hard time trying to decide what sort of floral manicure to do, and eventually I settled on this cute watercolor-esque floral print!
It may look familiar to you, if you are a Toms fan like me!

I wish I had the shoes to pose with! Haha. But I have 4 other pairs of Toms so I don't need these ones, despite how pretty they are.
I sell Toms at the store I work in - being around them all day makes me want EVERY pair.

To create this look, I sort of did the acetone watercolor technique. (Check out my tutorial if you haven't seen it yet!)
Instead of making random blobs, I turned them into flowers!
I love the blendy, watery look.

I tried to do this same exact (technique and everything) but with different colors for this day's challenge but omg... it looked like poo. Luckily I did something else that I was really happy with haha I redeemed myself. I love TOMS too! I need those shoes now, thanks for that :P

Woohoo for electricity! Very happy to hear that it is back on. The colors you used for your mani today are just beautiful and I love the way you get your inspiration. I'll be anxiously waiting to see what the next challenge brings. :0) Have a wonderful night.
